Sports ministry asks IOC to run Wrestling Federation of India amid athletes row
The IOC panel has been asked to manage daily affairs of the Wrestling Federation of India, including selection of athletes.
Union Sports Minister Vijay Goel, while taking note of reports that doctors without requisite qualifications were sent to the Rio Olympics, said on Saturday the government will seek complete details before sending anyone to such events in future.
"We will ask the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) to submit resumes, expertise of contingents and other details of the people accompanying Indian athletes. We will examine whether the person fulfils the criteria before permitting them for events like the Olympics," Goel told a leading news channel.
